Anitta, also known as Larissa de Macedo Machado, is essentially the pop queen who has been delivering songs all over the world with her own fusion of Latin beats, funk, and a hint of "I'll steal your heart with a single note." She first gained popularity in the early 2010s with "Meiga e Abusada," and since then, she has amassed chart-topping hits like "Paradinha," "Vai Malandra," and "Boys Don't Cry."
It was just reported that Brazilian singer, Anitta's next song, "Romeo," will be available on February 6. Naturally, the internet was compelled to play around with it. Once again, the creative minds of the internet have transformed this straightforward news into a comedy performance.
Netizens immediately jumped in with their creative opinions as soon as Anitta revealed the shocking news of her new song "Romeo" through a picture. Like confetti during a parade, people began tossing mixed signals. Because, you know, a single photo seems to open a whole new famous persona, one person (@homskyra), even went so far as to compare her to none other than Kim Kardashian, commenting on X:
"I thought it was Kim Kardashian."
Anitta is apparently now embracing her inner Kim K, complete with all the glamour and glitz. Perhaps "Romeo" has replaced "Keeping Up with the Anittas," and we're only watching for the spectacular action! Naturally, though, the internet was unable to refrain from doing what it does best - overanalyzing everything - as soon as she hinted at the release. The internet is a strange place to be!
And Anitta is probably over here thinking, "I just wanted to drop a single, not start a global casting call!" while the internet is busy acting as a celebrity matchmaker. Fans, however, are capable of transforming the launch of a new song into a global beauty competition, complete with hashtags, memes, and comparisons.
Because of the internet's potential to transform a simple image into a whole season of reality TV, Anitta's "Romeo" is poised to become the most dramatic love tale of the year - not only because of the lyrics. Keep it up, internet; you’re doing great.
Now let me walk you through how netizens have reacted regarding this news!

A user (@riya_123456_) wrote:
"Anitta’s got the armor, now all she needs is Romeo... and maybe a few extra shields for the haters."
The internet is unable to determine if Anitta is a music singer or Kim Kardashian when she posts an image of herself in armor. While some internet users are cheering her on as if she's just created fashion, others are enjoying some popcorn and watching this drama play out like the newest reality TV program. The Kim Kardashian comparisons? A classic move on the internet.
It looks like Anitta's new single "Romeo" will be more than simply a song; it will be an experience. One thing is certain: this release will be nothing short of iconic, whether it is due to the dramatic armor look, online comparisons, or growing expectations. Anitta is once again demonstrating her ability to keep us all guessing with her distinct flare and style. Will Romeo be prepared for the fight? That is the only question that remains.
